Overview of the Avante Mk.III Azure

The Tamiya Avante Mk.III Azure combines retro buggy looks with modern Mini 4WD engineering. The Tamiya 18626 Avante Mk.III Azure Mini 4WD PRO Kit brings a bold blue shell and race-style graphics to backyard practice runs and local track events.

Shell design and track-minded visuals

The bright azure body is paired with white, red and blue decals and separate aerodynamic bits including a rear wing. The bodywork is designed to look the part while offering practical airflow control for better handling.

MS chassis and drivetrain features

Built on the MS chassis, this model offers a balanced platform that is easy to set up. The chassis accepts a double shaft motor, which helps with reliable power delivery and consistent performance under race conditions.

Upgrade and setup suggestions

Options include swapping to performance motors, fitting low-profile tyres to cut rolling resistance, and selecting gear ratios to tune acceleration or top speed. The MS chassis supports many tuning parts to suit varied track layouts.

Building the kit

The kit features snap-fit parts to simplify construction, making it suitable for newcomers while still offering scope for experienced builders to tweak and tune after assembly.

Yes, the MS chassis offers a balanced layout that helps maintain stability through corners when paired with suitable tyres and weight distribution.
The kit adapts to different surfaces. Use softer, grippier tyres for carpet and harder low-profile tyres for smooth outdoor asphalt to optimise lap times.
Regularly check gears and axles for wear, keep bearings clean, and inspect the body clips and wing mounts after each race to prevent failures.
Tamiya parts and many aftermarket hop-ups are readily available, letting you replace wear items or upgrade components as needed.
